A new Irish logistics business has declared that its launch has dramatically improved the country’s chances of coping with a continued rise in e-commerce deliveries during the parcel industry’s annual peak season. Coll-8 has said that the decision to start operations had “instantly boosted” the capacity of the country’s delivery network by 10 per cent and would see further expansion with every successive month.

What is a pitch deck and/or investor pitch? An investor pitch is a presentation of your business model that shows the potential for growth and viability. It is a summary of your business in 15-25 slides containing key information of your business idea. Startups want to sell their product, and a pitch deck aids in presenting details in an organised and visually appealing manner to potential investors, clients, and partners.
